As a small child, I've always dreamt of one day becoming a nurse. I remember I would imagine myself wearing the white uniform, and being able to care and heal for sick or injured patients. To me a nurse was not just a person in a uniform, but an individual that could make a difference in another person's life. Imagine you woke with an excruciating sore throat and you decided to go the see a doctor. However, before you are seen by a doctor, you would probably be seen by a nurse first. To me nurses play a huge role in the medical field because often they are the first health-care professional a patient sees. Becoming a nurse is my dream profession. It is profession that allows me to work hands on and express genuine affections towards those that are in need of medical attention.

Growing up, I had my mother to look up to. She plays an important part of my decision to pursue nursing as a profession. She has taught me to be who I am today, a well-respected young lady, who strives for practical and do able goals, work for excellence academically and professionally. I was raised to be humbled, peaceful, strong, and tolerant. And to understand different cultures, beliefs, ethics, and attitudes, to endow others with respect, as well with, a loving heart and an open mind. Nursing is the perfect profession for me because it includes all of my strong points and it offers challenges that I would enjoy seeking and accomplishing.

Nursing is a career choice that I am passionate about because I am able to touch the lives of those who are suffering and embrace them with compassion. Also, nursing is well respected profession, and for me it is my way of a successful future. It is a career path into establishing a stable financial brace for my descendants.

Continuing and completing my education is the most important focused asset in this point of my life. It is a continuous learning process that I embark on each day, in search of a successful career. Given the rigorous of the nursing program, I plan to ensure success by devoting long hours of studying, joining study groups, mentally and physically preparing, and staying organized. My plans and aspirations after graduation are to pursue a career working alongside many physicians and other registered nurses as a RN. Then, continue on with my education to receive a Master's degree.

My greatest accomplishments that have received satisfaction from are through volunteering. Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer. I have given back to the community through various organizations such as Hands on Miami, local Hospitals, and demonstrated leadership through my church youth group, the Youth Association of Miami. A few years ago, I began volunteering at local hospitals because it is a great way to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. Since my career goal is to become a nurse; I found that volunteering in hospitals has helped me gain not only experience in the medical field, but it has also taught me the importance of helping others. I was able to provide care, emotional trust, and some friendship to the patients. The experience that I obtained made me more eager than ever to becoming the best nurse I could possibly be. Nurses are there to provide comfort make a difference in so many lives. As a volunteer, I was able to see and learn firsthand what it's like to work as a nurse.

I chose Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University to obtain my Bachelors of Science in Nursing because the great value of education given. Also, it is a great program available for upcoming nurses, and is there to help endure and enhance each student intellectual knowledge and skills.
